What area are you located?
And what areas do you need help with?

im in the issaquah area, looking for anywhere close, within an hour drive i guess. just cant figure out where to go... tried beaver lake, and a little on the skykomish. I dont have a boat so all i do is shore fishing.

most of the king fishery on Lake Sammamish is a boat show.
If it looks fishy, Then fish it, If it dont look fishy, fish it anyways. <')}}}}><

I always tell those that are shore bound and don't have a boat...think about a float tube. It's inexpensive and can put you into fish. Bass, panfish, trout, muskies, even salmon. I've been doing it for years now and will continue to do so. Just an option.
